Edict Prison, Old Crooked Neck Tree. Pit.

"So, Mr. Jiang actually has one more class to finish?"

Zhu Gaoxu scratched his beard, squinted at Li Jinglong and asked.

"Not bad."

Li Jinglong said with great certainty: "When I first talked about the "Theory of National Fortune", I talked about the three major burdens encountered by yeoman farmers in paying taxes to the state in order to prolong the life of the dynasty and reform the land system of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Because these three burdens are precisely the three main means used by the landlord class to annex the land of yeoman farmers."

"If these three burdens are solved, the speed of land annexation and the proportion of the landlord class can be curbed, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the dynasty's tax base and extending the dynasty's life."

"The first is forced labor, which has been theoretically solved by 'apportioning labor into the mu', and homesteaders no longer need to serve forced labor to delay agricultural work."

"The second is grain, which is solved through the 'silver treasure banknote', and the yeoman farmers only need to pay paper money, and do not need to pay grain, so as to avoid corrupt officials from exploiting grain through various means."

"The third is ploughing cattle and seeds, which Jiang Lang has not yet talked about."

Today, Yuan Hui, who was invited by Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to treat the wounded in the Imperial Prison, also came over, and the four of them sat down in a square around a tree pit full of mud and broken roots and stems.

Jiang Xinghuo, who was forcibly dragged over, looked a little listless, and kept sighing.

Seeing that the teacher didn't have the heart to go to class, the three of them didn't care, but diverged their thinking and began to discuss in groups spontaneously.

It seems that a good style of study has been formed.

Yuan Heng listened to it freshly, he hadn't heard "The Theory of National Fortune", but just from a few words relayed by Li Jinglong, he felt the taste.

The immortals are unbelievable~

It's like standing in the sky and overlooking the world for hundreds of years, not only seeing through the joys and sorrows of the world, but also finding a solution.

In Yuan Hui's heart, this is really amazing.

Yuan Hui was born in a standard Song Dynasty top scholar family, and in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, it was a high-ranking lord like the five surnames and seven wangs, and the origin of the family is needless to say.

After Meng Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, although the family fell in the middle of the road, and even the whole family was destroyed, Yuan Hui walked out of that small world because of this, and since then he has traveled all over the world, not only seeing the thousands of sorrows and sufferings of the common people, but also contacting countless dignitaries and dignitaries because of physiognomy.

Later, the Ming Dynasty was established, Yuan Heng became a waiter, and resigned and returned to his hometown.

Yuan Heng's life can be described as rich in experience, and everyone has seen it.

- But he really had never seen a person like Jiang Xinghuo.

His body is full of rationalism, as if he is a sage who is always ready to die with his life, and his vision and pattern are even more surprisingly high, as if he has seen through the long river of history from above.

Needless to say, wisdom is not to be talked about in the previous one, but only to solve the three major burdens of homesteaders.

What is the silver banknote Yuan Hui doesn't know, but it is about to be pushed down by the government and the opposition into the mu, which is the great merit of countless living people!

You say that people like Jiang Xinghuo are not immortals, who are immortals?

Not to mention that Yuan Heng had countless thoughts on his side, Zhu Gaoxu directly expressed his opinions.

"Ploughing cattle and seeds?"

"I don't know how to solve the seed, and it's not easy to plough the cattle? Go directly to fight the Mongols on the steppe, as long as the Northern Yuan is cleared, the cattle and sheep that can be obtained are not millions? ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his fist: "When the time comes, how many ploughing cattle are needed by the peasants in the world, the imperial court will be able to make it!" ”

Yuan Jue wanted to speak and stopped, but Li Jinglong simply spoke.

"It's different."

"How is it different?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

"The breed of cattle on the grassland is different from that of cultivated cattle." Li Jinglong looked at the fool and explained, "I only talk about ploughing cattle, there are many cattle in the north, and there are many buffaloes in the south of the Yangtze River, as for the grassland cattle raised by the Mongolians, they are used to eat meat and milk cows, they are good at sports and migration, and the meat is fat and strong, which is not the same thing as ploughing cattle, and they are not trained for several generations when they are domesticated." ”

Li Jinglong put it another way: "Just like the eagle you boiled, how long does it take for a naturally wild beast to become a lovely person who is close to people and obeys people's commands?" ”

Yuan Jue then pulled the roots of the tree and spoke: "When training cattle to plough the fields, they always let the calf pull something behind it first, which is the root of this thick tree, so that it can exercise its physical strength. When it is time to practice the ploughing skills, the cow will put a nose ring, just like a horse with a rein, so that the calf will be obedient and will not eat the crops of the field even if it is very hungry. As for the password, it is also slowly trained, and there is no such thing as an overnight thing. ”

"That's just as well."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, it seems that his attention is indeed not feasible.

"So what do you think can be done to solve the problem of ploughing cattle?"

Hearing this, several people fell into deep thought.

yes, is there any way to solve the problem of ploughing cattle?

"If you can get hundreds of thousands of horses, whether it's plundering or trading, it should be solved, right?" Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "Horses and cattle are cultivated together, I think it's not impossible, horses are always easier to control than other beasts." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately refuted it.

Li Jinglongfu shook his head again and said: "No, the price of horses in the Ming Dynasty is high, the reason is that even if the horse households are specially raised, they spend countless money, grain and energy every year, and the cost of cultivating the fields as livestock is too high; In addition, the southern grain-producing areas are narrow and densely populated, and most of the cattle needed are buffaloes, and it is difficult for horses to adapt to paddy fields. ”

Yuan Jue immediately nodded, thinking that Li Jinglong was right. But in the Central Plains Dynasty, the most worrying problem is Ma Zheng, because the breeding of horses is too expensive, and ordinary people can afford to raise cattle, and they can't afford to raise horses even if they give them away for nothing.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they were helpless.

Moments ago.

"Where did you talk about today?"

Zhu Di put on his favorite ordinary black armor, broke into the secret room with a knife, looked at the two little officials and asked.

Behind him was Zhu Gaochi, who was slowly moving.

The two officials were startled.

Last night, this morning, the screams in the city of Nanjing did not stop.

I heard that the emperor was furious and personally led his troops to conquer the mansion of King Gu, and the rebels who resisted in it were all beheaded and divided, leaving no one behind.

The alleys on both sides were rivers of blood, corpses were piled up, the entire capital was shaken, and the people were terrified and talked about it.

Some of the bold ones even quietly ran to the mansion of the King of Valley, which had become a fierce place, and the dead bodies that had their heads or limbs cut off, or torsos cut off at the waist, made them break out in a cold sweat.

It is said that there are also scoundrels who are known as bold, and after reading it, they fell ill when they went back, and they are now bedridden.

As for the city of Nanjing, it is even more heavily guarded.

The old soldiers of the Yan army with guns and bows closed all the city gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, including the honorable people of the current dynasty and the six Shangshu.

The atmosphere in the palace was also several times more tense than usual.

Anyone who has a little vision now knows that the king of the valley failed to rebel, and the emperor was furious!

And this time the incident was so fierce that the king of the valley dared to plan to kill the king and rebel, it was really bold.

Although King Gu is also one of the Eight Great Sai Kings, who would have thought that he would really dare to do such a thing as rebellion?

What's even worse is that for a while, all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, and there were all kinds of versions.

Some people say that King Gu secretly hid Emperor Jianwen in his mansion a few months ago, and now he was discovered by the emperor, so the emperor sent a large army in the name of King Gu's rebellion, the purpose was actually to kill Emperor Jianwen who was hidden.

There are also people who say that King Gu has long coveted the throne, so he will design to send troops to kill them all when the emperor goes to visit the second prince in the imperial prison, and then become the emperor himself.

Of course, rumors will only spread more and more outrageous, and basically in the end, the last person said that the city gate building, and the next person passed it into a crotch shaft

In short, when Chai Che and Guo Jin saw the murderous emperor who had just finished cutting people and came to continue their study journey, their mood was quite complicated.

"I haven't started talking yet, the two princes are discussing." Guo Jin didn't dare to look at Zhu Di's face to speak, but just lowered his head and said honestly: "Mr. Jiang is in a low mood today, and he has been sighing for a long time, and he doesn't seem to want to lecture too much. ”

Chai Che glared at him, signaling to say something, and not to add his own subjective judgment.

"Weird."

Zhu Di didn't care, he took off the knife, took off the skirt armor by himself, and sat on the chair with the half-body armor on.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi also slowly moved in, and also sat on the special wide chair as relieved.

"Not strange." Zhu Gaochi sighed, "Father, immortals can't be said with common sense, we are still in the way of others, in case the head is cut off, the body will be shed and the mortal will become an immortal." ”

Zhu Gaochi's thick fingers rubbed on his temples like bamboo shoots, and said softly: "I don't know if Yuan Heng saw anything, the world's first phase master, the top real person in the Daomen, there should always be something, right?" ”

"I hope so." The more Zhu Di listened, the more frowning he became, "What is this bastard talking about?" Take the horse to plow the land, and he can figure it out! ”

Zhu Di's mood today is not very good, he originally planned to go to Susongjiahu to personally lead the troops to carry out the matter of entering the mu of service, but now there is a sudden rebellion of the king of the valley, and he can only postpone the plan for the time being.

Fortunately, there was still a class, although Jiang Xinghuo didn't start talking at all.

Zhu Di turned his head and asked, "What do you think about the matter of ploughing cattle and seeds?" ”

Zhu Gaochi also said with some embarrassment: "Father, it is definitely impossible to solve this matter, and the number of ploughing cattle and seeds cannot be increased out of thin air, and in fact, even if it becomes more, the difficulty is not in itself." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di snorted, he already understood what his eldest son meant.

"It's just like the "Seedlings Law", the officials use this to get their hands on it, yes or no?"

"Yes." Zhu Gaochi sighed helplessly, "The three major burdens proposed by Mr. Jiang are for the extra labor of the peasants themselves, and the grain is for the part wasted by paying taxes. ”

"Conscription, grain delivery, farming."

"The three burdens are like three mountains pressing on the peasants' heads."

"This has been the case for thousands of years, and it has been the case for thousands of generations."

Zhu Gaochi said bluntly to his father: "The reform of agriculture in the past dynasties, in fact, to put it bluntly, is not to help farmers produce more grain and less trouble outside farming? But it's just that I can't ask for it. ”

"Your imperial grandfather said that the sky and the earth are big, and farming is the biggest. This is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di's eyes looked at the wall.

"You said that from ancient times to the present, how many emperors and generals have not solved the problem, Mr. Jiang, can it be solved?"
